Welcome to Peggy Under Pressure

Where should I start?  It seems like decades have passed but really it’s only been like one month.  But so much has happened!!!  The good, the bad and the ugly!!! Let me start with the GOOD.  It is good that I was able to go on vacation for a week to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. [...]

STAR WARS, the first episode of the prequel trilogy is being re-released in the theaters in 3D next week!!!  That means more money being made for the Lucas Industry.  In honor of the movie, Yoda and I have decided to put together a special recipe to share with everyone on my blog! Yoda originates from [...]

I had a little casual get together with some friends this weekend.  Actually, I just wanted an excuse to cook something I’ve never cooked before and wanted to subject them to being my little guinea pigs to test my cooking on.  You know, the kind of guinea pigs that listen to Hip Hop music, dress [...]

{Sticky} I know a lot of people got awesome pressure cookers over the holidays as Christmas gifts.  (And by the way, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!)  So I wanted to take a little time to write a post on different tips, tricks and special know-hows for all the First Timers of the Elite series of electric pressure [...]

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday weekend!  I’ve had a busy couple of weeks and I’m hoping it will calm down soon once the big 2012 comes around the corner or I’m going to become one of those headless chickens you see that wants to cross the road!!!  Does anyone have any good [...]

I wanted to share something completely un-pressure cooker related.  They’re cute little tasty sushi dessert treats.  It’s fun to make and fun to eat.  I made these this year for my annual Holiday Package that I pass out to all my friends.  I had help of course since I had to make sooo many.  A [...]

This seafood recipe is amaaaay-ZING!  I tweaked it a bit but it’s got some heavenly flavors that’s going to dance in your mouth!  I love seafood.  It always reminds me of traveling and vacationing by the beautiful oceans of our planet.  This recipe is completely pescatarian.  It’s also fast and super easy, and perfect for [...]

This is going to be a super duper quicky.  In other words, it’s a recipe that does not demand a whole lot of attention.  You throw everything together into a pot and set it and forget it.  (Like I did.  I literally cooked it, went and took a nap and when I woke up, it [...]

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday and had a lovely time spent with family and loved ones. Now it is DETOX time!!!  I am so turkey-ed out.  I don’t think I can eat turkey for another year!!!  Oh that’s right, I have a whole year until more turkey.  Thank goodness!!! I spent my [...]

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, guess what I am going to “semi” cook in the pressure cooker this week? Come on!  GUESS!  Oh come on, you’re not even trying!  Ok, give up? I’m going to make TURKEY!!!  (Oops, I gave it away somehow, didn’t I?) Now you’re probably wondering how the heck am I going [...]

**Update**  I’ve decided to extend the expiration date for the contest.  The week of Thanksgiving is going to be a busy one for many people.  The new expiration date is going to be November 27th, 2011 Midnight.  I’m going to give it another week.  Thanksgiving week brings around more google traffic. Tis the season to [...]

I’ve had pumpkin pie on my mind ever since November started.  But I wanted to make something in my pressure cooker instead of baking something in the oven.  So cheesecake in the pressure cooker sounded easy enough.  I did a bit of research on google and found a pretty decent recipe that I tweaked and [...]

My wedding planner Catherine Cindy Leo went on vacation last week to Rome, Italy.  I can’t imagine what it would be like to go to Europe now that I’m in my 30s.  Oh the foods that I would enjoy!  And the beautiful sites that I would see and take a gazillion photos of.  I can’t [...]

O M G!  Repeat after me…..O M G!  Seriously!  I can’t believe I am FINALLY back.  I can’t believe I have been gone for soooo long.  I am so so sorry for my absence.  I know many of you just didn’t know what to do without me.  You’re probably all just starving!!!  There is no [...]

I’ll let this post speak for itself. THIS was why I have been missing in action from all the cooking and good eats these last few months! The photos are just a collection from friends and family so no professional photography just yet.  But for those who don’t care about weddings and just want info [...]
